Yeah, yeah
Damn right, bro
4 AM, I'm just gettin' started
For my birthday I threw me a surprise party
Reminiscin' 'bout the trap, playin' the first Carter
Got my first quarter flippin' fifty-dollar slabs
Your nigga lookin' at the bills, askin' you for half
Cut from a different cloth, take pride in results
Anytime she wanna dip I'm providin' the sauce
You on side of the boss, so you kind of the boss
You keep playin' with me, I end up signing your boss
Drop an EP on a nigga for the free-free on a nigga
Yeah you ZZ on a nigga, king like BB on you niggas, yeah
Ride with Champagne P
If it wasn't for the struggle then I wouldn't be me
Call me Deuce or Dos, anything but broke
Got my aim from the scope, got the game by the throat, damn
Okay, you popped up on me by surprise (yeah, yeah)
You see I never took you for the poppin' type (straight up)
Damn, it's 4 AM so please believe the hype (it's lit)

"4 AM" by 2 Chainz ft Travis Scott is a song about partying hard and working harder, all night long, until the early hours of the morning. The lyrics depict the lifestyle of the rappers who, despite the partying, have also accomplished a lot in their respective careers, with 2 Chainz reminiscing about his early days in the trap and the birth of his daughter transforming his life for the better. He takes pride in his hard work and is driven to achieve more. Moreover, he warns those who underestimate him that he has the power to end up signing their bosses, highlighting his growing success and dominance. Meanwhile, Travis Scott boasts of his success, mixing designer names like Riccardo Tisci with references to his illicit past selling drugs to make a living, emphasizing his journey from a hustler to a record-selling artist while still holding onto his roots.
The title โ4 AMโ creates a particular mood of wild parties, fun and abandonment, as the lyrics depict. With catchy rhymes in their verses, 2 Chainz and Travis Scott drive the song forward, building up to the chorus which creates a sense of excitement, frenzied with anticipation. The chorus is an invitation to his lover, beckoning that itโs the right time to link up and have fun. He assures her he will make it, offering to drop off something dangerous, implying that he is bringing something illicit or dangerous with him, adding to the song's electrifying and mysterious vibe.
